Cleveland Cavaliers
Since returning from the break the Cavaliers are 6-7 and are jostling with the Bucks to determine which of them will secure the second seed. Entering this match they’ve dropped back to third behind by a half-game.
Injuries are a constant issue as one starter returns another hits the injury reserve list. Such was the case as Donovan Mitchell got healthy Evan Mobley replaced him on the sidelines.

Cavaliers Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Dean Wade, PG (questionable —personal)
- Max Strus, PG (questionable — knee)
- Tristan Thompson, C (OUT for 25 games—suspension)
- Evan Mobley, C (OUT indefinitely— ankle)
- Ty Jerome, PG (OUT indefinitely—ankle)
Houston Rockets
Success hasn’t arrived as quickly for Jalen Green compared to others in his draft class but there are nights when he puts his full skill set on display providing evidence for why he was drafted so high.
Such was the case on Thursday when he feasted (granted it was against the Wizards). Green needs to learn how to produce more consistently but brief glimpses offer hope for the Rockets.
Rockets Stats
The Rockets rank 24th offensively (112.6) and eighth defensively (112.3), with a net differential of plus +0.4 ranking 18th overall.
One of the best bets is the Rockets who possess a 35-29-2 record against the spread through 66 games.

- Steven Adams, C (OUT for season — knee)
- Alperen Sengun, C (OUT indefinitely — ankle)
